Comment on I hate stacked area charts (2011)parentComments−Groxx12yIs that not a problem with stacked charts?−DigitalJack12yNo, because they are stacked. Overlapping is a problem because you have a bunch of colors that very nearly look the same crossing over each other.With stacks it's much easier to track along based on contrast alone.
